Toys for Tots Collection

December 9, 2013

The 2013 Lampeter-Strasburg School District Toys for Tots campaign officially kicked off on Friday, November 22, with an assembly at Lampeter Elementary School. Program manager and second grade teacher Karen Taraborelli gave a heartfelt talk to students, urging them to take part in the District's holiday service tradition.

This year's Toys for Tots collection begins Monday, November 25 and runs through Friday, December 6. Everyone is encouraged to take part by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy for a child from 1-12 years old. Community members can drop off gifts at the administration building at 1600 Book Road, Lancaster. Toys for Tots will culminate in the traditional "stuffing of the bus" on December 6, during which all gifts will be loaded onto a school bus. The bus's final stop will be Lampeter Elementary, where Santa and his Interact Elves will greet students and collect toys. All toys will be distributed through the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign. Learn more at toysfortots.org.
